Joanie and I were laughing when we were just 17 Running around her white dress stained green at the knees The thunderhead in the distance took us both by surprise Joanie ran as fast as she could screaming with a smile A few years later on we were married by the County Clerk We didn't have much money I was out work Fire took our first home they said it was a lightening strike Joanie stood there smiling I just cursed the storm We rebuilt the manor on land her daddy gave 20 years two children put one in her grave The oak tree where we laid her fell over in the snow Joanie now she has cancer she smiled Honey do you think I'm old How can I complain about the weather with you up there in a hospital room laughing like you didn't hear the doctor say you'll never com home
